Antgram Paladins

meeting and farewell

Time passed without me noticing and today is the day Iinette left the hospital.

And maybe it will be the last time we can meet.

Right now Iinette is not in this room, she will be back soon so she is waiting in the prep room, and I cannot leave this room.

It would not be wrong if the moment Iinette walked out of the room was the last time we met.

"Haaaahhh~~ meeting birthed farewell anyway"

"Where did you find such a phrase?"

There was a girl who replied to me, this familiar voice ...

"What about the promise where you'll come yesterday?"

When I said that with a resigned smile, shopia only replied with a wry smile.

"Sorry, I broke it~"

Say shopia while uniting her two palms.

Ah .. I expected, I've gone too deep into this life. But, yeah .. This isn't bad.

Passing through various other stale bases, now the shopia began to sit beside me while peeling some apples.

"So yeah, brother iinette's out already"

"Yes....."

"Shei ... unexpectedly, you turned out to be easy to feel lonely~"

"Eh, ah .. maybe"

I only replied with a wry smile, his initial shopia said as a joke but after hearing a serious answer from me, he stopped putting on an expression and smiled sincerely.

"Well .. maybe it doesn't matter, I don't think that's a bad thing"

"So .. can I ask you something?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you going?"

Hearing my question, shopia was silent for a while until she finally continued peeling the apple.

He hasn't answered, and I'm just waiting.

"I'll go, of course ... someday, hey, you want to know what I want to do now?"

"What?"

"Hehe .. I want to be an adventurer!~"

Say shopia while lifting up the knife he used to peel the apple.

"An adventurer?"

"What's? You think that job doesn't suit me?"

Say shopia with a pouting face, but well, I have to be honest here.

"Yes .. You don't fit"

Hearing my answer, shopia was silent and did not know whether to smile or not, but I answered honestly earlier.

I think shopia is not suitable because shopia is synonymous with gentle nature, will not be suitable to be an adventurer with a job that is too heavy like that.

"So .. haha, so yes, but .. This is the only way left for me"

And the shopia turns its tone so sad at the end, I don't know what kind of situation the shopia is in.

Can I help her? No, it's impossible for me to help him.

This time I was also in an unfortunate situation where I had to deal with the military.

I don't have time to help shopia, but .. If just listening, maybe it will make it better.

"When I say you don't fit in, it's true, your nature isn't suitable for such a job, you have to deal with demonic beasts, bandits, and worst of all you're going to kill humans"

I said that while looking at the noise in the hands of the shopia, and the shopia was silent in response to my answer.

No, when I looked, Shopia was putting on such a sad face right now.

" .... You know, I used to have a father and a mother, but my mother died and my father became intoxicated and spent money to buy alcohol, if the atmosphere was bad, and my father became intoxicated, he's gonna hit me and grandma, which is why grandma has to be taken care of .. bad dad"

"....."

Shopia told her past with a very heavy expression, I honestly want to stop hearing stories like this, but I can't.

I just fell silent, unable to respond to the story of shopia until he finally continued his words.

"Then I found out, my father owed me so much, even to treat my grandmother I gave up, I worked, worked, worked, worked for self-satisfaction, he said, but it's still not enough to pay off that debt and Grandma's medical expenses, I'm desperate you know? I eventually sold my body"

"Eh?"

I was silent, my mind was empty, not really my mind was full at this time until I pretended not to pay attention to all the questions that were in my mind.

All I felt was anger, just that and a regret for not being able to help him.

"I'm the worst? Although how desperate I am, selling my own body is not good, right? But, yes .. but, it's just a high-paying job, many times I do it .. sometimes I enjoy it and sometimes it's filled with regret, sometimes it is, I don't even have the face to meet my grandmother and every time I go in this room to see my grandmother, I always stand in front of the room to forget everything and return to being a shopia who is an ordinary child... ah, sorry"

Saying shopia's apology when she gets carried away by emotions as she tells her about it, it's probably because her heart refuses to tell her story but she still insists on telling it.

It was like, he wanted someone to scold him.

"W-Do you regret that?"

"......" Shopia did not answer, until finally she made a heavy smile while saying "Ah .. sorry, for telling me such a strange thing, dah .. I go first"

Shopia put the knife into her basket and rushed out.

"Tu-"

Before I called her, shopia had already left this room, but still left the door wide open.

Honestly I have nothing to reply to the story of the shopia, I refuse to think about it.

Deep down in my mind, still a man, I always looked at the disgust of a prostitute in a prostitution district.

They did that to survive .. and I don't understand why they're willing to give up their bodies just to survive.

Now I realize if-- ah, I don't want to continue this .. So, do I look like I'm looking at shopia like when I see prostitutes in the prostitution district?

.

.

.

Time passed, and from then on, shopia never came to visit me.

But there was a letter sent to me, it was a letter from shopia.

(Hey, shei .. sorry about yesterday, I was carried away by emotions while telling stories.. Now I am no longer in the paron kingdom, as I decided, I became an adventurer, I became an adventurer, you want to say I don't fit in, right? I know that, because of that!! I'll prove if this job suits me!! Well, maybe for the next time you should call me "sister" because I already consider you as my sister, see you later, from : shopia adrelina)

In the end I didn't know if it was a happy ending or not, but I definitely wanted to punch myself in the face to teach this pathetic virgin a lesson.

But well, shopia told me to call him a basic "sister", even though our age was only 3 years different ...

Now I still don't understand, what I feel about shopia is the feeling of seeing it as a friend or the feeling of taking it as a big brother.

I don't think taking shopia as a friend is wrong, much less about me taking that shopia as a big brother.

But this has made me feel satisfied .. no more restraints of mind, I will pray-ups, I was wrong.

I would believe if shopia would come back someday, and until then.

.

The days passed without problems and the second shopia letter had arrived, hmm .. everywhere, I read it.

(For my sister, shei) kh reading this embarrasses me, next (mumgkin you don't believe but I killed a demonic beast!! It was the first time but I was very happy. Well, even though it makes me almost wet the bed, but there are colleagues I can rely on here. Tomorrow we will go to elrole, so maybe I can not send a letter in the near future, but I will send it directly if it reaches elrole, for sure!! Put that aside, I won't know what day this letter will be, but if you accept it then you're still in the hospital, the saljukan village? The next letter I'll send you is, from : shopia adreline)

I see, if I get out of this hospital, shopia won't know with my exact address, now he must be on his way to erolre or maybe it has arrived?

If it's not wrong to get to elrole takes 15 days, well .. so he's still on his way.

What I can do, I'll wait for the next letter.

.

Today was the day I got out of the hospital, and now I'm stretching my hands.

"How, condition?"

"It's more than good"

"Once you go, hm .. take a look"

The doctor moved towards me and opened the bandage on my face.

"Yes .. hm, no wound is imprinted, thank goodness"

The doctor continued to remove the bandage on my face and just let it fall on the floor.

Oh, there's a mirror here, I'm advancing slowly toward that mirror to look at my face.

"Hm .. as usual I'm pretty~"

I recently realized that if being born as a woman has its own charm, this is one of them.

"Oh, that's right .. There's a letter for you"

"Letter?"

The doctor showed me a letter and I moved to get the letter, after which I immediately searched for a chair and sat down.

From who? Shopia's letter just arrived yesterday.

When I sorted out the letter, smelled a good smell, was it perfume?

And this letter has a fancy design, when I saw the name of the sender there it says "iinette yaulen"

"Iinette?"

I opened the letter and read it right away.

(Sunny day, sheilla~, how are you? Have you been out of the hospital? If I'm already in the Asahris kingdom, I guess if being here feels more comfortable and safe, leave it aside, after I get out of the hospital, I just found out if you turned out to be Mr. Lohengram's son, did I ever speak disrespectfully? Fufu, it's a joke ... enough to get here, next I look forward to a letter from you, and don't forget to call me "sister"~~ from : iinette yaulen"

"U-uh .. I'll get used to it"

Here I wryly reply to Iinette's last words.

In this room, I had a heart-wrenching meeting and farewell, gahaha, when I was too old to be moved by this.

.

.

.

Preparation time out of the hospital has been completed, troublesome also if I have to take care of such just to get out of the hospital.

I'm at the front door of this hospital, in front of it filled with flowers, hmm?

"The medicinal plants here are thriving"

Said one who was talking to his friend from a distance, but his voice was quite heard in the ear of sheilla.

Turns out it was all medicinal--well plants, I was wrong because of the lack of knowledge.

When I looked around at the flowers - I mean the medicinal plants around, there was someone walking towards me.

Oooh, it's a woman, and especially it's like she's wearing a white uniform with various golden designs, that and some badges, what's a military uniform?

"You must be sheilla, right?"

"Y-yes"

"Then come with me"

Ah .. I know, the interview from the military, I completely forgot about it, so is this beautiful woman also a military dog?

This woman also seemed unfriendly. Huuu~ I want to escape from here.
